Where are mods built? All the amazing builds shown at events like COMPUTEX and Dreamhack surely couldn’t have been built on corner desks in tiny studio apartments could they? We wanted to see for ourselves what the work conditions for serious PC builders really look like. We asked some of the top modders from around the world to show us where they work. It was interesting to see!

Jonathan Garlit, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, is an avid gamer. This often comes out in his mod projects with themed builds featuring games like DOTA and Overwatch. He has a passion for the craft of case modding with hand tools.

Irie Ahmad is the definition of a professional modder. He owns and runs his own mod shop, which distributes to customers all over Asia. He was one of the first modders to have his products sold in the Maker Made section of the CM Store.

Tim Petterson, known as Timpelay, is a structural engineer with a passion for PC building. He has done mods that have been shown at events all over the world like Computex in Taipei and Dreamhack in Sweden.

Dewayne is the founder and CEO of Modders-Inc. In many ways he is directly responsible for the normalization of the term “case modding” in the American PC building community.

Most of the pros have large work areas and/or shops dedicated to modding, but just about all of them started in their home/apartment with barely enough room to spray paint. It’s not the work area that makes a great mod, but the person building it. Show us what your modding work space looks like.
